eBay user American-Swiss has a complete set of 5 plus 2 singles of the Darius-Girenas overprints. What do the board members think of these? Are they real or fake?









If you need to see bigger images you can check the eBay lots.

The 5 centi and 10 centu are fakes or reprints (whichever you like to call them).
These denominations simply were never overprinted during the official overprinting process. They are well known and well described forgeries.
The set itself - can't tell as the resolution of the images is inadequate to make an educated guess. Need to be examined closer.
Hope this helps

Here are bigger scans of the stamps in the set individually. Let me know what you think

Fakes, without a doubt.
Sorry.

Thanks for taking a look. If you ever get a chance, post one of the real overprints so we can have an idea of what they look like. So far all of the ones I have seen on the internet seem to be fake.
